“Two thousand sixteen is one of the most consistently outstanding vintages for Gigondas that I have ever tasted...a slam dunk” -- Vinous

GEE-GONE-DAZ! Gigondas is SYRAH, gorgeously pure, beautifully balanced but packed flavor, from the brilliant Bertrand Stehelin, at the best price on Earth! Oh, and a DOUBLE 90-92 POINTER to boot!

2016 vintage -- so lush and fine. Hey don’t just take our word for it, here’s some professional critic love…”Smoke-accented aromas of black raspberry, licorice and succulent flowers, lifted by a spicy peppery nuance. Plush cherry, raspberry and licorice flavors show very good depth and take a sweeter turn with aeration. Rich yet energetic in style, finishing with repeating smokiness, velvety tannins and strong, floral-driven persistence…medium body, a rounded, layered, voluptuous texture, and solid mid-palate density, it’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for a decade or more.”

That’s what we are TALKIN’ about! We are talking PURPLE! Deep color, deep flavors of raspberry, orange peel, black cherry, woodsmoke, tasty spices and warm, toasty wood, with a surprisingly sexy, silky mouthfeel with fine tannin that reminds you this is serious stuff (just not at a serious price today!). Delicious, complex and shows different sides every time you take a sip. LOVE IT. This will age, too, if you can keep your hands off it for a few years, but honestly we doubt it once you get a bottle open and taste it yourself…while it lasts!
